Knitting Kit - Waffle Tee by The Knit Purl Girl

Knitting Kit - Waffle Tee by The Knit Purl Girl

Pattern not included - you must purchase the pattern on Ravelry here. 

Pattern available in English. 

The Waffle Tee is knitted top-down and in the round. You will start by working the lace pattern on the yoke, with two options for lace depth. The pattern consists of yarn overs and decreases and becomes quite easy to memorize after a few repeats.

You will then continue with German Short Rows and raglan increases to improve the fit around the back and shoulders. Once the yoke is complete, you will knit the body to the desired length, then the sleeves. The body, sleeves, and neckline are finished with an i-cord border.

Yarn

For the samples, the designer used 2 strands of Isager Trio 1:

• 50% linen
• 30% cotton
• 20% lyocell
• 50 g = 350 m

The yarn is beautiful held double, but has little natural elasticity and requires a bit more attention while knitting.

• Chart Option 1 (blue): Sky
• Chart Option 2 (beige): Linen

Techniques Used

• Chart reading
• German Short Rows
• Yarn overs
• Slanted increases
• Slanted decreases
• I-cord bind-off

Difficulty Level

This pattern is not particularly difficult, but some lace decreases (such as K4tog and SSSSK) require precision and may be less suitable for beginner knitters.

The lace itself is relatively simple and repetitive, making it an excellent project for building confidence in knitting lace patterns. The designer also offers email support if needed. ✨
